Australia Day Bits

This is the wattle,Emblem of our land.You can stick it in a bottleOr hold it in your hand.- Monty Python.

Continuing in the same vein:

Here is the kangaroo,
Our best symbol yet.
You can put in on the barbeque
Or feed it to your pet.
◊
Sharks infest our waters,
Seas that carry ships.
Sharks will eat our daughters
We eat sharks with chips.
◊
Here is the eucalypt
Reaching for the skies.
Stir it in the tea you sipped,
Swish away the flies.
◊
This is the beer can,
Elixir of our world.
You can chuck it down, like a man
Or sip it like a girl.
